Check this Lambo video out if you have the time. It reminded me a lot of the opening scene of the Italian Job movie (The original one). Video runs close to 10 min., so if you need to skip along, be sure to catch the tunnel scene at around 8:43.

Enjoy!

I kid you not! As I watched I was thinking that must be the pass over the Swiss Alps my wife and I drove in '85. And there it is posted above the video. We flew to Munich and purchased a BMW 325e and cruised around Europe for two weeks.

We called routes like that "Yellow Roads" due to the color on the map. We drove two like that in Switzerland and one in Austria. Not the same day of coarse. She was white knuckled the entire time, so she claimed Marshall law and put an end to those routes.

The only thing that's missing are hundreds of crotch rocket motorcycles. They were like gnats. All over the place buzzing around. We never could keep up with them.

Thanks for the memories.
